Mike McGrath’s Book of Compost

We bought our first composter recently, the Urban Compost Tumbler. While reading through the directions, I had a bit of confusion. It recommends fully loading the composter and not adding additional compostable materials once you’ve completed the initial load. I’m hoping to find out what other folks who use compost tumbler do to manage their compost queue.
We only have one compost tumbler, and don’t plan on buying a second one. Is this a feasible approach? Do you just add new compost material to the tumbler frequently until you’re almost ready to harvest the compost? Do you keep it in a separate garbage can prior to putting it in the tumbler? Some other approach?
In terms of the actual compost material, we’re pretty set, and already have our first batch.
Your thoughts and input appreciated!

I bought a soil with organic compost already in it. It says 6.4 ph and 15 percent per 100 grams is organic compost. I was planning on adding some of my own compost to the soil, but isn’t 15 % enough already??

Thanks

Some people say you have to let the air get in and others say you have to close it up in order for the heat to build up which hastens decomposition. Who is right?
Also looking for ideas on
*how to do a home made compost bin.
*Steps in creating good compost.
*how to attract worms
*can I use chopped up twigs
*should I mix soil in with the compost to hasten decomposition.

I just want to know if i can add a few things here and there to tubs and compost to increase the acidity of the compost for things like gentians etc without having to use ericaceous compost. I know lots of ericaceous compost is largely made up of peat and i’d rather garden in the most environmentally friendly way possible. Any help would be much appreciated! thanks.
